Great place for children and parents, coffee shop on site, toilets and adequate parking, It is a very nice facility in the heart of Petone handy to public transport and close to the main CBD of Petone, I highly recommend this facility as a very good safe place for children to play, well fenced with a safety gate, well earned 5 stars

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Perfect for families with young children who enjoy messy, sensory play in a secure environment. The fenced playground offers peace of mind for parents while kids explore mud kitchens and non-traditional play equipment. Best visited on sunny days when the coffee cart operates and outdoor play is most enjoyable.

β€œMy daughter spends her time very well there with mud most of the time they a tiny wood house where you can play mud or sand there with a water pump to play as well. A tiny cafe where you can get your own coffee as well.”
